Above: Joan designed this shirt which featured aspects of Joan and Doug's life. The name "Dodo," that Joan is pointing
to on the shirt, was Joan's pet name for Douglas Fairbanks Jr. This shirt would be highly collectible and valuable today.

Description: Joan Crawford once owned this comb and mirrored case. The comb measures 3 3/4" across and the engraving
on the sterling silver portion of the comb reads " Lucille LeSueur March 23 1926." The comb section is made of tortoise
shell. The comb lives in a purple velvet case and when opened there's a small beveled mirror on the inside. This comb was
a very expensive item in its day. With the sterling silver, beveled mirror and the engraving showing the high quality of the
item.

History: I was very excited when I purchased this comb this past year. It came from an English woman who purchased it
in the 1940's in the USA and she resides in England. She had the comb for sometime and decided to sell it for a very reasonable
price. What I find so interesting about this item is that Joan owned this before she was "Joan Crawford." Joan probably
didn't hang onto this comb for long since her name changed. Also, depending on whom this comb came from. A lot of thought
went into the gift so it could have come from a sweetheart she was dating. The comb is dated 1926 and at this time Joan was
dating Michael Cudahy. It also could have come from Louis B. Mayer or William Haines who both had an admiration for Joan.
We may never know the true origin of who gave young Lucille the comb but I do know that it has a happy home now and it is
treasured.

Description: The Silver Screen Gold Medal measures approx. 3 1/2" around. Material is bronze. The front of the medal
has an embossed bust of Joan Crawford -- a remarkable likeness to Joan circa 1932. On the back of the coin it states that
Joan was voted the most popular star by readers in 1933.

History: This item was purchased off of eBay. The award was presented to Joan Crawford from actress Marie Dressler(see photo
above.) The original owner of this medal purchased it at an auction in New York in the 1970's. One wonders how long Joan held
onto this medal. It's a great Crawford collectible.
